For some reason I've got four of the Airfix P-51 kits in the stash so really should sign up. Have Swedish and Chinese decals put aside for the two standard kits, want to do the F.51 in its Dominican scheme, then there's the starter kit with its 112 squadron option but I'm drawn to doing Dooleybird from 19 squadron since it was based not far from where I live and the Matchbox artwork was so inspiring to me as a kid - need to find decals to suit that idea though.

Sign me up for this one please. I have 7 P-51 kits, so maybe I can do 2 or three for this GB.

A brave man or a quick builder, welcome aboard. Sounds like you are a bit of a P-51 fan, well you'll enjoy this build, the last one was amazing!

Look forward to seeing when it starts.

Not really a quick builder, just optimistic (until it all goes wrong!). So yeah, I think I fall under the "brave (foolish?) man" category :) But I will at least finish one, and if there're time left, I will start another.

Y'kna I think I'll join yer club. The last Mustang GB was the first thing I did on these fine fora, and my first model in many years, I even managed a couple of votes for my entry much to my surprise. As such it would be rude not to chuck my hat in the ring for round two.

I'll be doing the same aircraft that I did last time but in 1/48th rathere than 1/72nd. Probably the Hobby Boss version. The theory being that I'll be able to put what (if anything) I've learned in the intervening period in to practice.
